Recommended for experienced users of retinoids, the Ordinary’s Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a potent serum that works over time to target visible signs of ageing.

Suitable for all skin types, the yellow-tinted formula works to diminish the appearance of fine lines, dark spots and uneven tone, while visibly enhancing the skin’s radiance and smoothness. The treatment utilises oat, an ingredient renowned for its soothing properties, to help minimise feelings of sensitivity and dryness post-application. The multi-purpose serum also helps to improve visible elasticity and soften the look of crow’s feet.

☽ PM
When to Use: Start with a weekly application and gradually increase usage to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin.
Recommended Amount: A pea-sized amount.
Application: Apply to a clean, dry face and neck.
Routine: Apply a moisturiser afterwards. Use sun protection during the day.
✖ Do Not Use With: Other retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs or BHAs.
Please Note: If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.
Please Note: The bright yellow hue of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal. This may leave some residual colour on skin and light coloured fabrics, which can be minimised by allowing the product to fully absorb, and skin to dry before making contact with light-coloured fabrics. This residual colour can be removed by washing skin with water, and washing fabrics with your regular detergent according to their care instructions.

Retinal: A form of vitamin A that minimises the look of fine lines
Oats: A plant that protects the skin barrier
